From 89b59e6cc15db8cea20a0c0aac18548bccfcb5f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huang Shijie Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2013 18:07:38 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: gpmi: add a new DT property to use the datasheet's minimum required ECC In default way, we use the ecc_strength/ecc_step size calculated by ourselves and use all the OOB area. This patch adds a new property : "fsl,use-minimum-ecc" If we enable it, we will firstly try to use the datasheet's minimum required ECC provided by the MTD layer (the ecc_strength_ds/ecc_step_ds fields in the nand_chip{}). So we may have free space in the OOB area by using the minimum ECC, and we may support JFFS2 with some SLC NANDs, such as Micron's SLC NAND. If we fail to use the minimum ECC, we will use the legacy method to calculate the ecc_strength and ecc_step size.
